Early Springtime Peas, 

 and upright- Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 30 cts.; qt 

 Extra Early Gradus. The very best extra early wrinkled 



pea ever introduced. It produces pods equal in size to the well- 

 known Telephone. Quality and productiveness equal to that well- 

 known variety. The vines are of vigorous, robust growth, about 

 2J/2 feet high, thick stems and luxuriant foliage ; it bears large, 

 handsome pods, with immense luscious peas, remaining sweet and 

 tender for a long time after they are fit to pick. Pkt- 10 cts-; 

 pt. 35 cts.; qt. 60 cts-; gallon $2.10; peck $3.65; bushel $13.50. 



Extra Early Alaska. The earliest of all smooth green peas, 



having the best color when shelled and the best quality when 

 cooked. The dark green color of the pods make it extremely de- 

 sirable, as it can be carried long distances without losing its color, 

 which quality, combined with its earliness and uniformity of ripen- 

 ing, make it one of the best early peas for market gardeners. 

 Pkt. 10 cts-; pt- 25 cts.; qt. 40 cts.; peck $2.50; bushel $9.00- 



Extra Early Thomas Laxton. An extra-early wrinkled mar- 

 row of excellent quality, and a valuable addition to the very early 

 varieties. It is three feet high, and somewhat more vigorous in 

 habit than Prosperity. The pods are medium to large, blunt-ended 

 and filled to the tip with large Peas of true, rich "marrow" flavor. 

 Its strong vine and heavy cropping character make it very suit- 

 able for an early crop in the private garden. It may be used to 

 great advantage as an immediate successor to Gradus. If sown 

 together, Thomas Laxton will be in full production just as the 

 crop of Gradus is diminishing. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 35 cts.; qt. 60 cts.; 

 gallon $2.00; peck $3.60; bushel, $13.00. 



Premium Gem. This variety is nearly as early as the Ameri- 

 can Wonder, and the vine is decidedly larger, growing from 12 to 

 16 inches, and bearing an immense crop of peas, which are larger 

 and invariably filled with peas of best quality. Pkt. 10 cts-; pt.. 

 30 cts-; qt. 50 cts.; peck $3.50; bushel $12.00. 



Bolgiano's Extra Early Triumph. The earliest of all; uni- 

 form and productive. The success of our Extra Early Triumph 

 Peas has been surprising. Large truckers have found it most satis- 

 factory. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 25 cts.; qt. 40 cts.; peck $2.75; bushel 

 $10.00.

CULTURE. Peas mature earliest in a light, rich soil. For general 

 crop use a rich, deep loam or inclining to clay is best. When grown 

 in garden sow in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart; the rows 2 to 4 feet 

 apart. Commence sowing the extra early varieties as early as the 

 ground can be worked in February or March; transplant for a suc- 

 cession every two weeks until June, then discontinue until the middle 

 of August, when a good crop may be secured by sowing the extra 

 early and early sorts for fall use. They should be kept clean and 

 earthed up twice during the growth. The wrinkled varieties are not 

 as hardy as the small, round sort, and if planted early should have 

 a dry soil, or they are liable to rot in the ground. They are, how- 

 ever, the sweetest and best flavored varieties. The dwarf varieties 

 are best suited for small gardens. For Mailing see Parcel Post Rates 

 opposite page 1. One quart weighs about 2 pounds. 



Early Springtime Peas. Introduced by us four years 

 ago- It is long podded with large peas, fine quality, 

 abundant cropper. Full description on page 4 of this cata- 

 logue. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 30 cts-; qt. 50 cts.; peck $3.50; 

 bushel, $12.00. 

 Extremely Early Long-Podded Alaska. An entirely 



new, vigorous, handsome, long-podded, delicious flavored 

 Alaska Pea. Bound to become extremely popular, for it has 

 all the good qualities of our Famous Extra Early Alaska 

 Pea, and in addition it has a well-filled long pod, which will 

 fill the basket quickly, and while it is not a distinctly sugar 

 pea, yet it has a much sweeter flavor than the Alaska. It 

 is abundant yielder- Pkt 10 cts.; pt 30 cts.; qt 50 cts.; 

 4 qts. $1.35; peck $3.00; bushel $11.00. 



Wonderful Extra Early. This pea has proven itself to 

 be a decided acquisition to the list of peas. It is as early 

 as the Alaska ; bears long, well-filled pods. While not a 

 wrinkled pea, it takes somewhat of the character of them. 

 It can be planted as early as the Alaska — vines grow stiff 

 50 cts.; peck $3.50; bushel $11 00.
